Shrimp Scampi with Zoodles

Hello there, May I offer you some extremely buttery, garlicky, lemony shrimp over zoodles this morning? Okay good, thanks. But seriously, shrimp scampi has always had a place in my heart as one of my favorite meals. If you’ve been a reader since the beginning, you may recall the recipe for “engagement scampi” back in 2008. 2008! I can’t even. We go back way back, people. Anyway, I named it that because a reader emailed me and told me her boyfriend popped the question immediately after eating a plate of this. It really was, and still is, that good. So good, in fact, that I decided it needed a revamp. A summery revamp over — you guessed it — zoooooooooodles! I love busting out my spiralizer in the summer when the zucchini is going crazy in the garden.   Using zoodles instead of traditional pasta in this recipe really lightens it up and makes it absolutely perfect for summer. This is a quick 20 minute meal that always gets rave reviews (and maybe even a marriage proposal).   Start by getting your paws on the best shrimp you can find. Look for wild caught. If you can’t get any sourced from […]

Be More with Less How to Maintain Motivation to Simplify Your Life Have you ever started a big closet clean out, began a debt repayment program or tried to simplify your life in other ways only to lose motivation midway through? Maybe you stopped because you didn’t have a strong support system, or it felt too hard to continue.

Here are a seven ways to maintain motivation to simplify your life and possibly inspire people around you to simplify too. 1. Bring it to life.

3 Compelling Reasons to Schedule More Nothing

Be More with Less 3 Compelling Reasons to Schedule More Nothing Mark and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary this weekend doing a whole bunch of nothing. We napped, watched the waves  roll in, enjoyed long walks, took pictures of sea lions, read and napped some more. We didn’t do anything that anyone would consider productive, yet all of that nothing was life-giving. Our long stretch of doing nothing reminded me of the importance of making room for little pockets of nothing every day. If we don’t take time to do nothing, we compromise everything. 3 compelling reasons to schedule more nothing 1. Emergencies and surprises are out of your control. Test fate and plan your day, hour by hour. Don’t leave any room in between tasks, appointments or commitments. Emergencies and surprises consider this an invitation to show up and blow up the notion that you think you run the world. Instead leave a little room for nothing.

Eat, Live, Run Blueberry Cornbread Today is our anniversary! Happy four years to us. 🙂 Here’s the post I wrote about our wedding with tons of photos if you’re into that kind of thing. And here’s some honeymoon recaps if you’re bored. Paris. The Riveria. Montreux, Switzerland and the Alps. My big advice to those getting married? PLAN AN INCREDIBLE HONEYMOON. Seriously. We literally talk about how amazing our honeymoon was every day and how it was the best money we have ever spent. We got pregnant two months after getting home and our whole world changed forever…the memories we have of newlyweds on our honeymoon still remain some of our very best memories.  I still need to get some photos printed from our trip, actually. Just thinking about it makes me want to get back over there — I miss Europe!  Anyway, sorry I got off on a tangent there. I went down a rabbit hole this morning looking at wedding photos and just wanted to share. But...
